In recent years, organisations favour experts who can perform multiple tasks rather than hiring different coders, software engineers or designers. If an IT professional knows back-end and front-end development skills, there is a greater chance of getting a job in the software development industry.
A Full Stack Developer will be a software engineer that designs and build mobile applications, web infrastructure and websites. They will build, test, troubleshoot, operate and optimize various tiers of a software solution from the frontend, to the backend, to the database and notwithstanding troubleshooting and testing. They are always able to switch between frontend and backend development based on the requirement of the project.
